The Cure 'hipnotiza' 30 mil fãs por 3h15 durante show em São Paulo (http://g1.globo.com/sao-paulo/musica/noticia/2013/04/cure-hipnotiza-30-mil-fas-por-3h15-durante-show-em-sao-paulo.html)

General Info

http://www.livepass.com.br/ (http://www.livepass.com.br/)

The show won't longer take place at Estadio Morumbi but at Arena Anhembi. If you bought tickets for this show, click here (http://www.livepass.com.br/the-cure-sp/) for info on ticket exchange. Also notice that the concert will have now only 2 zones, instead of 12, that means there will be only two ticket prices:

BudZone    
R$ 500,00 (normal price)
R$ 250,00 (if you're student or elderly)

Pista
R$ 275,00 (normal price)
R$ 137,50 (if you're student or elderly)

Qualquer coisa, se eu puder ajudar em algo, estou à disposição.

Bom show para todos!

Thinking of going (i'm from Uruguay). Not knowing the prices beforehand bothers me a bit, i need time to take decissions, damnit!! Anyone else going? I'm kind of scared, because it'll be my first travel alone, and my first travel to Brazil!!! Any brazilian curefans willing to babysit an uruguayan?  hahahaha

Estoy pensando en ir, desde uruguay. Me molesta un poco no saber los precios de antemano. Necesito tiempo para meditarlo, carajo!. Alguien más va? La verdad me asusta un poco, mi primer viaje solo, y el primer viaje a Brasil también. Hay curefans brasileros dispuestos a hacer de niñero de un uruguayo?

Another thing: livepass.com.br wouldn't let me register without a brazilian CPF. Is there any way to bypass that?

Otra cosa. Livepass brasil no me deja registrarme en el sitio sin un DNI / Cédula  brasilera. Hay alguna manera de saltar ese control? Algun sitio para extranjeros? Ayuda!

As far as I've read around, tickets could be between R$250-R$500 (brazilian currency). This is NOT official at all.

I sent a mail to livepass.com.br asking them whether there's any way someone outside from Brazil could buy a ticket through the website. I'll post the answer as sooner as I get it.

And that may not be very useful, but if you could reach Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul/BR, you would most likely be able to come with a group of fans. They may gather people there to come to Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo, maybe you could join them.

I can keep an eye for you on groups coming from Rio Grande do Sul and could let you know about it, if you want. There are already groups coming from cities in Santa Catarina and Paraná.

Good luck!

Sadly i found this in the LivePass Brasil Facebook Page, in a Cure post:
"Infelizmente, o departamento de vendas internacional da Livepass não está em funcionamento no momento. Assim que iniciarmos atividades divulgaremos aqui no Facebook.".

As for travelling, by plane is my cheapest option unbelievably! A plane from MVD to Sao Paulo costs 300 Dollars.

I know this is my first post and all, but since I am a long term fan and I am waiting since 95 to see them live I can totally understand wanting to go from Uruguay to Brazil. Hell, I went to Germany to see a Dead Can Dance concert!

Anyway: When the prices are disclosed, I am totally willing to buy some tickets (Sao Paulo concert only) for anyone that needs them that lives in other country. Of course, my money is a little scarce so the payment should be made beforehand by Paypal or something similar. I like Paypal because it has plenty of security for both me and anyone interested. One vending venue is very near my workplace so I could be there Monday very early to guarantee the tickets. I must warn though that I haven´t ever sold anything on Paypal, so I really don´t know the details of money transfer and stuff like that, like how many days it takes for the money to be used by me. I am assuming that it can be done the same day! If anyone shows interest I´ll dig deeper.

Usually there is a ticket limit per person. It varies from 2 to 8 tickets, so I´d not be able to buy more than that. Also, depending on the price, it would be a lot of cash to walk around with, and I am really not confortable with that...

Of course, I´d never overcharge for the tickets and would send them to any address you want only by verified and trusty companies, like FedEx, UPS or DHL. The brazilian mail system is very bad, so even though it is cheaper it isn´t an option. And there are some Paypal taxes that need to be paid, I believe they are 6% of the value. Since I am not a professional seller I´d repass this value to the buyer, hope this is understandable.

If interested, post it here and PM me, so we can talk better.

Now, regarding a trip to Sao Paulo for a first timer...

Sao Paulo is a very big city and it has the same problems that every big city has... mugging, cons, robery, etc... You must be always careful when walking around and be wary if someone starts eyeballing you to much. I recommend staying at the Ibis Budget Sao Paulo Morumbi (70 dollars a night up to 3 people) or Ibis Sao Paulo Morumbi (75 dollars a night up to 2 people) hotels in Roque Petroni Jr Avenue. It is not the nearest hotel to the venue, but it is very near, a taxi being close to 13 dollars assuming there is no traffic, and there are local buses that could take you there, but they require a little knowledge of the local geography. If anyone wants this option, I am more than willing to help. The bus fare is 1,50 dollars. It is in walking distance of 2 shopping malls with plenty of food options, from fine cuisine to a regular Subway or McDonalds (8 dollars a combo meal), it is in walking distance of a Brazilian Barbecue house, which is a very interesting thing for foreigners to visit, assuming they are not vegetarian, it is in a walking distance of the CPTM public transportation systems (a train similar to Paris´s RER) and it is in a safe metropolitan area, with lots of commercial buildings. It is a little far from the main tourists attractions, but I think that is not the main purpose of the voyage. Of course, being near the CPTM you can easily do some sightseeing. I´d recommend MASP if you´re into arts or the Ibirapuera Park if you´re into nature and casual sports. Those are safe and good to see places. If you are willing to risk a little, a trip to the center of the city has some beatifull buildings, like Catedral da Sé and Thatro Municipal, but those are not very safe locations. Also, the Ibis hotel network staff are multilingual, so communication would be easier.

I intend to arrive at the venue at a very early hour, something like 6 or 7 am, assuming that it isn´t a numbered seat arrangement, so I probably wouldn´t be a good guide... But I always try to help.

In any case, see you guys at the concert!

rgtschope, wow, thanks for all the info and all the help!
Sadly, the biggest problem with this approach is not knowing the price of the tickets beforehand (damn livepass). But i'll let you know.

just to give you an idea of the prices for the LatAm2013 Tour. I don't think any show will be more expensive than Chile: http://curefans.com/curenews/the-cure-numbers-of-the-%27latin-american-tour-2013%27/ (http://curefans.com/curenews/the-cure-numbers-of-the-%27latin-american-tour-2013%27/)

Yes, i hope so!. Indeed the chilean prices are the most expensive ones by far, but the chilean "public" prices where a marketing strategy only, because DG Medios and Cristal are giving each one 20.000 %20 discount codes. I got tickets for chile for 264 USD each.

Actually Brazil has the largest tax rate in South America, so expect our prices to be equal or larger than Chile. If I remember correctly, for the first U2 concert in the 2000´s in the same venue the tickets were so expensive that it was actually cheaper to travel to Buenos Aires for the concert... U2 or Madonna or some other big name, can´t really recall now.

This situation has improved, but still there is the discrepancy.

Apparently international buyers can send an email to livepass@livepass.com.br with Passport number, birth date and full name, but I don´t know details.

See ya there!

Thanks rgtschope! :)

Tickets selling is live now! There is a 20% convenience fee, so expect to pay 50 dollars more for the best ticket. Tough, I know...

Considering that international customers are allowed to buy tickets at livepass, does anyone still need help to buy tickets for Rio or Sao Paulo concerts?
As someone here at Curefans help me to get mine for one of LatAm concerts I'd like to return the favor to another fan.
I can buy until 2 extra tickets. If you're interested PM me.

Going to stay on morumbi ibis (a hotel near the stadium) from Friday trough sunday. Going alone! Any curefan that wants to share a room? PM Me!

The concert has changed venues! It is now in Arena Anhembi!

The venue is where the traditional Sao Paulo Samba Schools make their parades and has a capacity of 35.000 people instead of 40.000, all of them standing.

This changes the hotel options for a much better one. Holiday Inn Sao Paulo Parque Anhembi is literally besides the venue, but it is more expensive. 151 dollars for the cheapest room. Other hotel options that are more or less close to the venue are Ibis Budget Sao Paulo Paulista (89 dollars, 16 dollars taxi drive) or Ibis Sao Paulo Expo Barra Funda (142 dollars, 7 dollars taxi ride and you can even walk to the venue if you are fit enough, 3 km).

Feel free to contact me if any other info is needed!

See you all there!

Thanks for the info!

for those who already have tickets for this show, ticket exchange info is here:

http://www.livepass.com.br/the-cure-sp/ (http://www.livepass.com.br/the-cure-sp/)

quite a change, now there will be only 2 sectors instead of 12!

I'd like to add "ibis budget Sao Paulo Sao Joao" as the cheapest hotel around.

I didn´t mention Ibis Budget Sao Paulo Sao Joao because the street where it is located can be somewhat dangerous at night, near some drug points, specially Saturday, because there is no movement from the work places around it. The Rua Vitória and Conselheiro Nebas are notorious for their crack addicts. The region is safer now, but it still is a place I´d rather avoid, specially if you are a tourist and never been to Sao Paulo before.

But it is quite near the venue and if you are feeling adventurous you can even visit some nice places that are near, like the Teatro Municipal, Estação da Luz, Pinacoteca and others, and it is also near some places that probably will host after parties, like Madame.

I really love Madame, it is the best goth house in Sao Paulo and the dance floor is awesome!

And ItsNotMe, have you received my latest PM? Still want to go to the concert together?

See you all there!

Damn! I didn't get the message, and i almost booked the Hotel.
I'll PM you in a minute.

Just adding some info:

Livepass now has a different scheme for tickets trade... Everyone that got Arquibancada tickets can use their tickets for Pista without aditional costs. Everyone that got Cadeira tickets can use their tickets for Budzone without additional costs. Before they were charging the difference and trading tickets... The change was due to a probable lawsuit and fine up to 3 million dollars, because the surcharge is against our consumer laws.

Not official yet, but according to several facebook and twitter accounts, the two opening bands are called Herod Layne and Lautmusik. Couldn´t find any official press release though. Anyway, both bands are virtually uknown here in Brazil, but are amazing! Mr. Smith has a swell taste in music, if it is indeed he who chose the bands.

They have videos on youtube, so go see them!

See ya!

Thanks to Lilialoman for the setlist!

30,000 persons attended Sao Paulo's show, 3 times more than in Rio de Janeiro.

In another note, Globo (main media in Brazil) says that the "lowest" point of the show were "End" and "One Hundred Years" at the end of the mainset (?) and that one of the highlights of the show was "Close To me". WTF?

Hm, I think for some people who are used to the "pop songs", they don't like those "guitar-rock" songs like "End" very much...

I just wanna thank publicly rgtschope for the hospitality, the trip tips, and the company on the 16 hour wait for the cure :D

Good times, man!

The show was incredible. Loved the camera work with the big screen.

No problem man! Always good to help a fellow fan. It was indeed very good show, unforgetable I´d say.
